Hi all,
I would like to know which plug to install for my home garage (rental without dryer outlet) and was hoping for some advice on that front. It's a bit of a touchy situation because I'm requesting that my landlady put it in (fingers crossed) so I want to maximize it's usefulness for potential tenants. I'm also going to buy a house in the coming 2-4 years, and don't want to waste resources.
EVSE upgrade for the 6.6/6.0 MY2013 EVSE: NEMA L6-30R
Quick220 has the: 6-20 plug. From what I understand be adapter'ized to 6-30 using a "NEMA L6-20 to L6-30 Twist-Lock Adapter" from EVSEadapters.com
Level two dedicated chargers seem to use: 6-50
So, questions:
1) Is there a good reason that EVSEupgrade & most permanent home l2 EVSEs(6.0+) differ in plugs? (6-30 vs. 6-50)
2) Does anyone with experience using the EVSEupgrade as their permanent solution mind chiming in on their advice with doing so? Same goes for people who've switched to using a stationary L2 EVSE.
3) Any advice for maximizing the landlady's utility in the situation? By this I mean if I need to ask her to install a useful plug (power tools?), then buy an adapter for my purposes, so be it. Water is not run to the garage, and washing machine outlets are in the main house (this is for the garage).
Thanks!
